Thank you Rick for handling it with class and I'm sorry for your loss as well.

I can’t imagine the weight of sharing that news *on Dodger radio*… well said Rick. RIP Vin.

Rick Monday…class act as a player, class act as an announcer.

Took everything he had in him, to keep it together and not cry. That's a strong man there

Vin is the voice of my childhood. Legend and icon are tossed around. But Vin as I have always said is the closest thing we'll ever be to hearing what God sounds like. I'm 37 and Vin was more than an announcer at my house he was part of my family. I always dreaded this day coming and as soon as Joe said we have some sad news I knew and cried. Thank you for everything you did for our boys in blue. Thank you for bringing my family close. Rest easy my beloved Vin

This is how I found out about the news on the road. Credit to Tim and Mo for finishing off the broadcast with class tonight. RIP Vin Scully. This one hurts.

Im 61 , Vin Scully is part of my DNA , part of my life . Thank you sir

This was heart breaking to hear, from Rick. You know deep inside he was absolutely devastated, as we all were.

Sitting in our living room with my dad listening to Vin as Don Sutton took another no hitter into the late innings that would inevitably not come to pass, Vin calling the world series against the A's and the Yankees, Rick Monday saving the flag, Fernandomania, Gibby's Home Run those are the memories of my childhood and Vin is in all of them. May he rest in peace.

Rick, you are a national treasure. Thank you for handling this difficult announcement with class and honor.

OMG, I can only imagine how hard it was for Rick to make this announcement and try to keep his composure on-air. His words were touching to hear and his emotions could be felt by anyone listening since we all loved Vin. Our condolences go out to the Scully family and everyone in the Dodgers' staff who were especially close to Vin and his family. Thanks Rick for taking these moments to share with us how your heart felt deep inside with this sudden sad news.

A true legend... R.I.P Vin. Thanks for the memories.

no one will ever approach the level of vin

As a Padre fan I'm sorry for the loss of Scully. One great legend how sweet it was growing up I could listen to Vin on one channel and Jerry Coleman on the other and would flip back and forth to listen to 2 legends you will be missed vin.

Scully was the embodiment of Dodger Blue. Thank you for all of the timeless memories, Maestro. Rest In Peace.

Pure class spoken from a Dodger legend as a player and broadcaster announcing the death of Vin Scully. We're with you in your pain Rick. RIP Vin Scully.

Way To Go ,Rick Monday. Brilliant Commitment/Comment. Richard.

Sad day, but Rick you did Vin proud with your kind and heartfelt words - know he and Tommy are watching over all of their Dodger Blue family, fans and friends ❤️⚾️

RIP Vin Scully. I have been a dodger fan for over 50 years and I grew up watching dodger games with my father and grandfather that Vin Scully called. Thank you Vin Scully for the memories. For me it is like losing a beloved uncle. God bless you Vin Scully and God bless your family.

We will always remember and miss this incredible man! May he rest in peace.

People need to listen to Rick Monday on the radio broadcast more over the TV broadcast

So many memorable games from the 70s - 2000s. Thank You, Vin, for that and more from this Southern CA, Fan. 🙏 RIP 🥎

Respect to Rick Monday! I wouldn't of wanted to hear it out of anyone else's mouth, well maybe Jaime also! We love you Vin! Thanks for the memories!

What a hard thing to do, Rick. You handled it with grace & maximum respect. All of us are crying tears of Dodger Blue here in Detroit.

Same here, was listening to the game when Mo broke the news. RIP Vince. Legend forever.

Rip Vin...youll forever be missed

I started listening to Vin Scully when I was 7 years old when I fell in love with the Dodgers! He had a gift, the gift was when he was describing Dodger baseball and telling his amazing stories like only he could, Vinny was talking ONLY TO ME!! ONLY ME!! That is a gift that can't be taught! We all new this day would come, but it hurts none the less. I am now 63 years old now and I can't believe he is gone! Vin Scully will always be the SHINING STAR in the City of Angels! I still hope to meet him someday!

Amor eterno 🕊 he was an abuelo to so many of us angelenos.

As a child I fell asleep next to my father's side, & the lullaby of baseball & Vin Scully. 🙂🙏⚾💕

Thank you Rick. Very tough thing to do live on air. Thank you to kdwn radio in las vegas for carrying every dodger game in the 80s. Rip vin. 🙏

Icon, Legend, Dodger, Family Man, Friend. “It’s time for Dodger baseball. Hello everybody & a pleasant good evening to you.” R.I.P. VIN

Rick Monday rose to the moment and made his idol Vin Scully proud.

Rick, great job in telling us the horrible news that our beloved Vin has left us, so sad, and lose it felt everywhere in Dodger land and for that matter the world, a true artist at work.

I didn’t actually know Vinny but as a Dodger fan, I felt like he was a member of my family. I know he is broadcasting for the angels now and getting reacquainted with those who have gone before him. My heart is heavy and I mourn heavily for his family. Rest In Peace, Velvet Thrush, and I am praying for your family.

Thank you vin scully for my childhood listing to you and are beloved dodgers

I remember in the early 1990's watching the Dodgers play on the road against the Expos, listening to Vin Scully break the news during the game that Don Drysdale had passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. This is sad. RIP Vin Scully! You were awesome.

I was born in 1959 the same year the Dodgers won the world serious in Los Angeles California. I blessed hearing Vin Scully throughout my childhood and as an adult with my children he will forever be missed there is no other voice like Vin scully's. May God Comfort the Scully family. rest in peace Vin🕊💒🙏

Thank You Vin for everything you did in life and baseball. From a 6 year old in 1958 listening to you at the Coliseum calling the first L.A. Dodgers game to hearing your words when baseball returned after 9/11. Nobody did it better than Vince Scully.

God bless you Rick your also the best! I listened to you and I just about lost it! Vin would have been so proud of you! You did a great job reporting this sad news! God bless you and Vin and all of the Dodgers! 😢

As a lifelong Dodger fan, this is some sad news, RIP to an icon, not just in LA or baseball, but in sports in general

Apologies that I am just seeing this and commenting on it in July 2023, but I was extremely touched by Rick Monday’s moving words And his obvious emotions and pain, at having to deliver that news. RIP, Vin, Scully, and thank you Rick Monday for your words and your heartfelt delivery of them. I am born raised and still live in the LA area. Dodger fan all my life. Although I never personally had any interaction with Vin Scully, I felt that I was Connected to him from listening to him all those years.

God bless you Rick❤️.

Vin and Rick. Both greats.

I listened to him since I was a kid. Loved his stories. Today’s announcers only give you stats. God bless Vinny. ❤

I moved to California 20 plus years ago and have sinced moved back to Texas he made me a long time dodger fan God bless you Mr Scully you were one of a kind you taught me so much about the game it's hard to listen to another game without you I just hope that there is some kind out there that will have half the talent you had you can never be replaced but you can be honored

Rick, you are the next Vin... never stop please...

Vin was my favorite since I was ten years old in Brooklyn. He was amazing and was the Dodgers voice. We loved that he was a lip reader and would tell what was being said during screaming matches between umpire vs manager. “Fertilizer!” Instead of “B_____it!”. When the Dodgers retreated to the left coast, the only times I saw Vin afterward was when he did World Series games and I enjoyed his work. Especially when my newer favorites, the Mets, played in 1986 series. He was a gem.

Since 1969 he has been baseball to me. I have a mom who is 88 years old and she is crying

I remember as a little kid going to bed on night games, and sneaking to bed my walkman so I could listen to the rest of the dodgers game. Vince's voice always took me back to my childhood.

I listened to this as it happened. I was at work and I had to stop what I was doing to process what Rick Monday was saying to us. May Vin Scully rest in peace.

Grew up listening to Vin on my little am/fm radio. Pretty sure I heard him speak more than I heard my own dad. Jackie was more important to MLB but Vin is the greatest Dodger of all time.💙

Growing up in Michigan, we felt this same sense of loss when Ernie Harwell passed back in 2010. I know what you’re feeling right now because as sad as I was when Ernie passed, I feel just as sad over the loss of Vin Scully 😥😞 I didn’t have the luxury of listening to Scully call Dodger games like you lucky folks did in SoCal all those wonderful years. But we did get to see Scully call nationally broadcast games on NBC back in the 1970’s and 1980’s. I was amazed to come across an NFL game on CBS from the 70’s and to hear Scully calling the action! I never knew that he did football games too! I’m also sad today because Scully was the last living link to those classic old-school broadcasters such as Harwell, Harry Caray, Mel Allen, Jack Brickhouse, Jack Buck, and others from that era. RIP Vin 💔 we will all miss your voice and your dedication to the Dodgers, both in Los Angeles and in the early days in Brooklyn

Very well said by Rick Monday. Vin Scully is truly the best there ever was and an absolute legend. Rick Monday is a legend himself (at least to me)

wouldnt have wanted to hear it from anyone else,thank you rick.

The very definition of Class.

One word. GOAT.

My goodness you can heat the heat in ricks voice

Keep it going Rick. You are a link to Vinny

I can never forget that night in Coors field the only no hitter in that stadium. September 1996, Hideo Nomo pitched a no hitter and vin Scully said..."Got em!! Nomo did the only thing cannot be done, not in the mile high stadium, not at Coors Field! He not only pitched a shutout he has pitched a no hitter, and thank goodness they saw it in Japan." Classic Vin.

I can remember as a kid watching Dodgers games on tv and if Vin wasn’t calling the game, we’d turn the sound off and turn on the radio. It just wasn’t the same without hearing his voice. For me, his greatest call was the greatest moment in Dodgers history; Kirik Gibson’s home run in the 1988 World Series.

Thank You for everything you did for us baseball fans Vin. We have lost the last of the greats on Tuesday, August 2nd 2022.

Vin Scully was to baseball and to sports as cracker jacks, apple pie, peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, and everything else in between, he was the voice of reason, he was a voice who brought Joy to the world through Sports of any kind, no matter if it was baseball, or football, or any kind of sport even sumo. He could make you feel energetic. We share with all fans especially in Los Angeles today and abroad, our sense of loss too. We feel just as you feel, a sense of grief, a sense of appreciation, and a sense of pride. Before he became famous, he was a New Yorker, but when he did sports, he became a living treasure to all of us. There will never be another like him ever, he was one of a kind, and the type of mold of inspiration to Future journalists and sports commentators and so forth. Particularly this one who recently graduated from Bergen Community College who inspires to become a broadcasting journalist and more. Good night dear sir, good and faithful servant, May flights of Angels Sing t h e e to thy rest, we have the watch from here and we will continue to cheer on and enjoy baseball knowing that you left your imprint upon history in sports.

It’s EASY to understand why Rick Monday felt this way. He got to know Mr. Scully as a player and then as someone in the profession working right beside him. These times and situations are inevitable yet they have a way of making us ask ourselves how we want to be remembered and are we doing enough for our fellow man. As a Dodger fan of forty five years, I’m thankful Mr. Scully was a part of my life for that long.

I am 56 and tears cant be held back as some of my best times/memories as a child was watching Dodgers baseball with my Father (first game ever watched was Dodgers at Mets 1969 ), brother and my friends,trading baseball cards. Hearing Vinnies voice in the spring was the signal for spring to begin ~ "Hello everybody I am Vin Scully along with Ross Porter and Jerry Dogget~ It's time for Dodger baseball"..Vin is now calling play by play for God with insight ,integrity and class l One of my best memories is the summer of 77 , It was on a Sunday morning and fair weather..I was visiting my friend Luis Suarez to watch the Dodgers game at his house (El Monte ,California). Before the game, we are outside tossing the ball around ..hitting the ball and practicing on how to bat/pose/swing the bat like Steve Garvey,Ron Cey ,Davey Lopes and Dusty Baker...Watch Dodgers at Astros in Houston (Yes Astros where originally in the N.L. before Selig screwed it all up) have lunch and trade baseball cards....fun~A time when kids were let to be kids not unlike today cramming down CRT, Gender Identity ,Racial Equity (what ever the hell that is) and Pronouns!

Total class by Rick. I am crushed and I didn't even know Vince

Class all the way Rick and so heart felt. 😥❤️

You can tell how difficult this is for Rick to announce. Everyone listening is feeling the same thing he is.

I will miss you, Vin. Though I never met you, I had a 50+ year relationship with you. I was a wide eyed 10-year old boy when I walked into Dodger Stadium for the first time back in June 1970. How many wonderful stories did I hear from you during all those years? How many rookies did I get to know because of the anecdotal stories you told? They would start out as strangers taking their cuts in the batter's circle, but by the time they reached home plate, we knew something interesting about them, thanks to you. While I am very sad to lose you, I am very blessed to have grown up in Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s thanks to you. May God welcome you with open arms, and may you be reunited with all your loved ones who have passed before you.

What a touching tribute.

It’s crazy man. He was the voice of so many peoples entire lives watching dodgers baseball

As sad as this announcement was, there was a certain poetry to hearing the telltale sounds of baseball in the background while Rick Monday spoke. The chatter of the crowd, the crack of the bat, the PA announcer, the ball hitting the catcher's mitt, the umpire calling a strike, there couldn't have been a better sendoff for the greatest to ever do it.

Thank you Rick❤️ Rip

There will never be another Vincent Edward Scully 💙💖💔 He will be forever missed 😢 November 29, 1927 ~ August 2, 2022

RIP and Thank You

Sad...truly sad. RIP Vin.

Sorry for your (and all of ours) loss Rick. this had to be the hardest thing you ever had to do in broadcasting.

My favorite name to hear him pronounce was Von Joshua. Favorite game moment was listening to him describe the search for Bill Sudakis’ lost contact lens! Sudsy, 3rd base coach and umpire on their hands and knees, no less! It also just occurred to me that we never heard the game interrupt a story. If he was telling a story, it was secondary to the game. And I never once thought we were really getting robbed because their was no color commentator. On the contrary, we were enriched.

My father was heartbroken when he found out his sister (my Tia), passed away back in Feb this yr. Then he finds out about Vin Scully's passing and he was devastated. I sat next to him, gave him a hug, and I told him "Look on the bright side dad, Tia is now hanging out with Tommy Lasorda and Vin Scully." R.I.P to a TRUE ICON! R.I.P Vin Scully! You will be missed! 😥

Simply the best...

I can only imagine what the Dodger Blue is going through. We went through the same thing when Harry Kalas went to Heaven in 2009. My thoughts are with you in this most difficult time. Mr. Scully and H.K.; two of THE all time greats!

Great job Rick.

in life there have been many "greatest of all time" . whether its a sports figure, president, rock star...ect.. many present good arguments as to who they think is the greatest at something. But Vin Scully, you cannot argue, hands down, the greatest broadcaster of all time! Not only did a true legend pass, the roll model, the teacher, the person, the man, had left this earth . We are so lucky so have lived during his era. May God Bless the Scully Family. May God be wearing a big Dodger cap excepting Vinny at the pearl gates with Sandi by his side, arms open wide!!!

As soon as I heard Rick's voice cracking, I knew what he was about to say, and I didn't want to hear it. 💙

You see folks you don't watch Dodger games you listen to Dodger games and Vin Scully was the best growing up listening to Vin everywhere you go to the beach to your neighbor's house in the garage your grandparents house hell I went to a bunch of Angel games and people had transistor radios on listening to Vin Scully it's like losing a grandparent I'm 57 years old and I'm still upset and crying and I know Vin will hate that he's part of the family,,

I just came up in this and still makes me cry and to hear Rick have to carry the weight of breaking the news hurts just as bad as when Joe broke it on tv

r.i.p. to the greatest announcer of all time. r.i.p. vin scully🕊

He didn't care about what was happening in the game. It was all insignificant compared to Vin passing. A true titan of his industry and one hell of a human being.

When Vin Scully anounced a game, he was speaking to YOU; you weren't listening to a couple of guys jabbering away. YOU mattered. I grew up listening to him under the sheets of my bed when I was supposed to be asleep. We'll all miss Vin Scully.

I loved Vinny more than some of my own uncles

Dodger players, managers, and owners came and went, but it was Vinny that was the one constant throughout the years. As a lifelong Dodger fan who grew up listening to Vin Scully call Dodger games, this loss cuts deep. But as Vinny so aptly quoted Dr. Seuss: “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

Man, Rick Monday sounds like Vin Scilly

Good thing Nick Castellanos wasnt there to interrupt this

Obvious from his voice he was crying. Well done, Rick.

Where can we listen to the replay of this radio broadcast to hear Rick and Tim talk about Vin?

this has me so messed up

RIP Vin.

No words

2 an2 to Davis, foul ball. Davis came over from the Cubs and is batting .274 with 8 home runs and 32 RBI’s. This game is brought to us by Farmer John sausages and Unocal 76. R.I.P. Mr. Scully, you will be sorely missed. 😢😢

This one hurts

RIP Vin a dodger legend
